Really good remastered version of the game with some gameplay QOL fixes vs. the original game.
Would recommend for nostalgic values and/or if you loved Skyrim.
The remastered version is a UE5 Engine wrap over the original game engine, so you still have the same derpiness from the original versions, which is a plus on my end!

I did NOT have any game breaking / quest breaking bugs.

The downside is that the game seems to become unstable the bigger the savefile become and seems to crash very often when menuing / fast travelling / loading zones faster than the original engine is able to support. Thank god for the autosaves, and disabling autosaves does not fix the issue btw.

IT FULLY SUPPORT ULTRAWIDE MONITORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm able to run 120 locked FPS with 7800X3D and 9070XT all at high, including RT, on 5120x1440 with FSR4 Quality, which is really awesome. UE5 is still kinda not super optimized, but there are some engine.ini tweaks out there to enable better multi-thread support and make the game stutter much less and load faster. There's no "easy" way to clear shader cache, which is unfortunate and might be part of the unstability issue.

The graphics are really incredible and the Cyrodill, and its content, are beautiful in UE5

Beware that Steam Cloud Save does not backup the right folder if OneDrive Backups are enabled; the correct folder is "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\My Games\Oblivion Remastered" as Steam backups "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\OneDrive\Documents\My Games\Oblivion Remastered" once OneDrive Backups are enabled. Please copy the files once in a while so you don't loose hundreds of hours.

The story and the graphics are compelling, well optimized for the latter. I don't care there's no FSR/DLSS on my end, I never enable it.
The universe is gorgeous in itself.

However, the combat needs serious rework as it's junky, you can't block attack, the attacks have little feedback so it seems like you're hitting a rock. The combat is simply not fun. That's what ruined it for me, which is a bummer as it had all the ingredients to a great game.

Looks like hunt showdown, but without the pvp element. It's a very good premise, but it fails to deliver in the current game state.

The immersion is very, very good but the combat is not polished enough to be satisfying and enjoyable. It is to a point where you try to avoid or cheese a combat sequence not because you want to keep your ressources / health, but because it's not enjoyable at all.

I understand how the game is sold to be hard, which is OK it might be one way to support cooperation, but a game shouldn't be hard because of quantum hitbox that may or may not exist and zombies that are so tanky, I lost count of how many hammer hit in the head it can take.

The map is pretty big and there's alot to see. The way the game plays, you shouldn't visit the entire map in one session as it's seperated by "areas" and "objectives" so the game kind of route your way to the centre of the map.

I can't recommend the game as of now. I will be watching the development hoping to watch a stone turn into a diamond, or sand.

It might be like Starship Troopers which turned out to be very good.

State of the game, as August 2024, is very good.
Cheap fun coop pve game that is fun to come back from time to time.
Great community.
Lot more stable and optimised than it was.
The game and graphics are much more polished too.

The devs are working hard and it shows.

If you like old school linear FPS, this game is for you.
The graphics are beautiful and the sound design is incredible, very immersive.

The gameplay is very well paced and the investigations sections are not too long, some of them are very interesting. It's nice to see the consquences of your actions throughout the game, even if it's minimal.

The shootout sections are epic, and even more so towards the end. The feeling of the guns is very satisfying and can lead to messy/gory situations.

The characters are well developed and the story line is very, very good. You do feel for Robocop in some instances and it adds to the immersion.

Finally, the skill tree and the AUTO9 (main pistol) customization is a nice addon, tho not thoroughly implemented. It's just a nice factor to become an overpower police office who just rush B and kill everything in its path, which adds a value to replay the game in NG+.

I guess the only downsides I could find is that a map (downtown detroit) is being reused often, but with alterations, tho it doesn't hide it as it's explicitely stated you go back to this location. The map is relatively big (as you do walk/run quick slowly) and the details is very high, it feels alive, so it's compensated.

The other downside is the autosave ; you can't rely on manual save. You need to finish a section to save, so sometimes it can be frustrating if you PC crash and/or if you thought it saved but didn't. I suppose it could be the main point of frustration in the game.

Overall, a VERY good game, would highly recommend if you like linear FPS. I'd like to see more of these kind.

Put -dx12 in game properties, disable city glow if you have an AMD GPU, then download a mod to retrieve the lost radio songs, and you're good to go.
The remaster isn't perfect but there's no game breaking bug (now they've been fixed) and the graphics are beautiful (it's like the way you remembered the game back in the days, but it supports more than 60 fps and ULTRAWIDE).

I recommend the game only for those who wants to play for the nostalgia and achievements.

AMD Radeon 7000 Series crash issues still not fixed.
Can't recommend the game as long as AMD and/or Arrowhead fix the issues.

**Edit**
Issue is fixed, the game is awesome, tbc.

Been a while I haven't played a worthy single player game like they used to be.
